I love working out with Julie!

She's always in the best mood to motivate us! the movements she implements in her sequences are not usual squats or lunges you would do therefore you get to tone and work hard to reach muscles. Trust me, my legs have never shaken like this with any other workout!

Julie is an absolute professional at what she does.

Great yoga classes that make will make you sweat. but what´s most impressive is that her motivational attitude makes you wake up at 6:30 am on a Monday to practice. Thats very impressive!
